Le Douhet, Charente 17100

Reference: FFPA-T86271. In the sumptuous 17th-century Chteau du Douhet, I offer you two interconnected flats in an exceptional setting. After parking in a secure area, you will cross the perfectly maintained courtyard of honour to reach the west wing of the chteau, where the fully renovated flats of around 220m2 occupy the first floor. Once you have passed the entrance hall, you will reach a private staircase leading to the two light-filled flats. In the 1st, an entrance hall leads to a living room with a working fireplace, a kitchen with surprising historical details in perfect condition and a storeroom, a study, two bedrooms, a shower room and a toilet with wash-hand basin. On the 2nd floor, an entrance hall with cupboard opens onto the living room with a modern, functional open-plan kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with wall-hung toilet. Gas central heating. Each flat has a storeroom. The communal areas include historic features such as La salle de la Lanterne, the water mirrors on the south side fed by flowing water from a Gallo-Roman aqueduct, a wooded park of around 19 hectares, an open-air theatre, an area with tables and barbecue facilities, a vegetable garden and the former caretaker's lodge, which houses a bicycle storage area, a workshop, some cellars, a meeting room, etc. No work is required on the flats, the chteau or its outbuildings. The gardens are maintained by a contractor, but anyone can help. The chteau is privately owned. It is listed as a historic monument, as is the entire co-ownership. More than just accommodation, this is an extraordinary way of life. A non-touristy visit will enable me to complete this description. A certificate of project feasibility and proof of identity will be requested before any visit. Thank you for your understanding.
